A Clash of Kings

During the cremation of the statues of the Seven on the orders of Melisandre, Allard expresses his disappointment, but only in a low voice. Like his father and his brother Dale, he is charged by the king, Stannis I, to issue along the coasts the declaration accusing Queen Cersei of an incestuous relationship with her brother, Ser Jaime Lannister, thus denying the legitimacy of her children to the throne, making Stannis the rightful king of the Seven Kingdoms. Allard leaves for the Free Cities.[1]
